    shameless

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham July 26, 2022

    We have always had a passport drawer. It is the top drawer of an old Singer spool cabinet that sits on top of a table that used to hold a Singer sewing machine. Both were handed down from my mother’s parents. They have traveled with Ginger and me to every house we have lived in…

    joint effort

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham July 24, 2022

    I am a couple of days away from marking ten months since my second knee replacement and three years and three months since my first. As you can see, I have the scars to prove it. Though they got me up hours after I came out of recovery to start walking and had me climbing…

    living with losses

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham July 23, 2022

    It was already over by the time I got there. Ginger and I went to dinner with some folks and I turned on the Red Sox game when we got home, as I am wont to do on a summer evening, to find that the score was 14-3 in favor of the Toronto Blue Jays….

    a ticket to you

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham July 22, 2022

    A couple of weeks ago, I got an email telling me I could sign up for a lottery tog et a link to buy tickets to one of the concerts on Bruce Springsteen’s upcoming tour. The date closest to me is in March 2023 at a relatively small arena, compared to some of the places…

    a cup of stars

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham July 19, 2022

    A friend from Texas called yesterday and asked how I was and I said I was hot, and then I said I knew the irony of statement talking to him since the high yesterday in Guilford was only three degrees warmer than the low in Houston. A heat wave in New England is three days…

    a parenthetical life

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham July 18, 2022July 18, 2022

    I got up early this morning, thanks to our middle Schnauzer Lila, made the coffee and sat down to write my Morning Pages for the first time in two months. It felt good. For those who are not familiar with them, Morning Pages are a practice I learned from The Artist’s Way by Julie Cameron….

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham July 17, 2022

    I preached again this morning, moving into the last few weeks of my bridge pastorate at the church in Westbrook. The passage today was Jesus’ first encounter with Mary and Martha, one that most people know as a story that juxtaposes the doers and the contemplatives. I kept looking for a way into the story…

    the christian thing to do

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham June 27, 2022June 28, 2022

    I have been away from much of the media in my life for a few weeks, much of it related to dealing with changes in my life that have taken a toll on me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Posting my sermon this week is a way of saying to you and to myself that I…

    same old song

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham May 16, 2022

    I preached last Sunday at Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas, a church with which I have a long and meaningful connection, so my sermon is personal for me and for them. Even so, sometimes something that speaks to the particular also has a wider reach. Thanks to their awesome AV team, I have video as…

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham May 1, 2022

    The reading for today is one of my favorite passages: Jesus cooking breakfast for Peter and the others who had been fishing all night. For all the times I have read and written about these verses, I saw new things, thanks to a conversation with Ginger. I hope you find some new things, too. ______________________________…
